Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

The Linux kernel has a security vulnerability. This vulnerability stems from the fact that procdocadpid reads cadpid and passes it to pidvnr, without protecting the lifecycle of the struct pid. A malicious actor can replace cadpid and release the old struct pid before the reader loads the pointer...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PID: Taking a reference when initializing cadpid During boot, kernelinitfreeable initializes cadpid to the struct pid of the init task. Later, we may change cadpid via sysctl. When this happens, procdocadpid will increment the...

CVE-2023-53136

CVE-2023-53136 concerns a Linux kernel af_unix memory leak in OOB support. The root cause is that queue_oob() may hold a reference on a pid via maybe_add_creds(), while skb->destructor is not set (directly or via unix_scm_to_skb()), allowing the reference to be leaked when the skb is freed. Sy...

Linux DRM Race Condition / Use-After-Free

Linux has an issue where drmfileupdatepid calls getpid too late, which creates a race condition that can lead to use-after-free of a struct pid. I am sending this to security@ and to the drm-misc maintainers - based on...

CVE-2024-39486: Use After Free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/drmfile: Fix pid refcounting race , Maxime Ripard , Thomas Zimmermann filp-pid is supposed to be a refcounted pointer; however, before this patch, drmfileupdatepid only increments the refcount of a struct pid after storing a...

CVE-2024-26676

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afunix: Call kfreeskb for dead unixsk-oobskb in GC. syzbot reported a warning 0 in unixgc with a repro, which creates a socketpair and sends one socket's fd to itself using the peer. socketpairAFUNIX, SOCKSTREAM, 0, 3, 4 = 0...
